    **Why wont my pics upload? I'm copying the links from flicker. This came from a Power Mac 7300/180

    Is that all RAM?

    The first looks like a mother board. The picture is not clear to me but looks like a lot of memory. I might be mistaken. The next two photos are a pci board.

    I don't use Flicker so don't know how to down load frorm them. I use photobucket and its easy. Someone will be by to assist you. In the mean time check out this link.

    Looking back to my original post i realize that i was really vague. I know the first pic is a mother board but there are 10 slots which i assume are all types of ram. There is no processor on the board, so i was assuming it must be the slot-type. The other two pics were the only two boards that were slotted into the mother board.

    Yes they are all ram. the processor is just like the one you piced in the other pic asking how do you remove it. Looks like it was removed allready.

    One thing to keep in mind is the fact that MAC is a lot different than a PC. Their version of a processor will not usually resemble what most of us refer to as a processor. For instance the picture below is a processor that I found in a Apple G5 system last week. Apple will throw a lot of people in this business....I console myself with the fact that this G5 had a huge copper/aluminum cooling system and that the case was 95% aluminum.

    I have 2 of those processors from an apple g5. how much are they worth? They are pretty heavy. Would these be the same as a slot processor.
